Nothing Is Impossible (Benedict Cumberbatch fanfic)

Chapter Thirty-Two

Chapter Thirty-Two

The night before the wedding, after bachelor and bachelorette parties, I'm a nervous wreck. Two reasons: I'm going to be committing the rest of my life to the man I love tomorrow, and I'm terrified that I'll screw something up, and...I'm late. I'm a whole week and a half late. I tried not to worry about it before, because I tried thinking of reasons why I was late. I thought I could've been under too much stress, or maybe I was just late and I'd get it soon, but nope. I've never been this late before.

I walked down the hall, to Ben's room. I knocked on his door. He answered within seconds.

"Emi, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be in bed." He looked tired, and I wondered if I woke him, it was really late.

"Ben, there's something I need to tell you." I said, nervous and anxious.

He opened the door wider and stepped aside, he motioned for me to come in. I entered his room and went over to his bed and sat down. I inhaled and exhaled slowly as Ben shut the door and sat next to me.

"So what is it? You're not wanting to back out now are you?" Ben asked, looking at me with concerned eyes.

"No! Not at all!" I started, he sighed in relief. I paused, "Ben...I...I think I might be pregnant."

Ben's expression was full of shock and excitement, "D-do you need me to pick you up a test?"

"I think so, I've never been this late before." I looked down at my hands.

"O-okay, stay here, I'll go buy you one." He said getting up from the bed, grabbing his jacket, a hat and sunglasses. The last thing we need right now is for word getting out that I might be pregnant, so he needed to be hidden more than usual.

I sit back on the bed and bring my knees up to my chest. Ben leaves to go get the test. God, why am I so nervous?

Ben came back twenty minutes later. He handed me a bag with a box of pregnancy tests in it. I went to the bathroom and took one test.

I set the test upside down. I washed my hands. I looked in the mirror. I turned sideways and looked at my stomach. I rubbed my stomach, thinking how there could be a baby in there.

My baby. Ben's baby...

I sighed and walked out of the bathroom.

"So, ummm..." Ben started but got lost for words.

"We won't know for five minutes." I said.

"Oh, right." He nodded, running a hand through his hair.

"It'll be alright, you know that right? Whatever the result is, we're getting married tomorrow."

"Yea, I know. I guess I'm just a bit nervous." I nodded, because I was too.

I walked up closer to Ben. We stood feet apart. I intertwined my fingers with his. I kissed him softly. I kissed him again and again, softly. Ben pulled me closer and wrapped an arm around me.

I pulled back slightly and breathed him in. I was getting lost in him. I wasn't nervous anymore, I felt like nothing mattered except him.

I pulled back farther and walked back into the bathroom. I picked up the test, not looking at it. I walked back up to Ben. I looked at the test.

Positive.

"Well, what's the result?" Ben asked, nervous.

I smiled, wide, "Positive."

Ben's expression changed to pure joy and excitement. He picked me up by the waist and swung me around. He laid his lips on mine.

"I love you, Emerald Elizabeth." He laid a hand on my stomach and looked down at it, "And I love you, too."
